Inhaltsangabe:

Bill Clark and Bob Brechner's Applied Basic Mathematics provides the structure and support that students need as they navigate their basic mathematics class. Like a guidebook for basic math, this text leads your students through the course by asking them to relate, reinforce, and review as they learn.

 

The Clark/Brechner structure encourages students to reinforce and review what they learn with Try-It Exercises that follow each Example and Solution Strategy, thorough exercise sets that include unique Guide Problems, and a comprehensive chapter summary called the Ten Minute Chapter Review. The structure of this book constantly relates the math to students' everyday lives by incorporating several application-driven features throughout the text and by including an Apply Your Knowledge learning objective in each section of the text.
